Open the emelfm file manager.Navigate to the /mnt directory. Then Right-Click on one of your mountpoints. Typically, an existing Windows partition can be found somewhere like "hda1" or "hda2". Then choose "Mount" from the Right-Click menu. The files from your C:\ drive will hopefully appear. FYI, for NTFS formatted partitions (Windows NT, Windows 2000, Windows XP, and Windows Server 2003) DSL has read-only access to them because Microsoft will not publish the information needed to be able to write to this filesystem format. However, it is pretty easy to use a USB pendrive to move files back and forth and you can always use an old MSDOS or FAT32 (Windows 98/ME) data partition for transfers. Finally, as a workaround you can e-mail the file to yourself to an account like yahoo or gmail and then download the attachment when you are running Windows. Posted by yellowpen on Feb. 26 2006,04:08
Ok I can see hd and hda but when I go in there is nothing there, and yes I mounted them. To add to this i can't see my pen drive, so I can't do anything with it. Im in the /mnt directory and don't see any sda or sda1 or anything like that.

Are you using DSL or are you using DSL Embedded?It is not possible to directly access your pendrive or hard drive if using DSL Embedded. If using DSL with native USB boot, your thumbdrive is located at /cdrom and you need to use Emelfm As SUPER USER in order to write files. |
